Our country’s fall to socialism/communism is utterly staggering. Take in point the latest out of capital hill, where top Senate Democrats have now proposed an amendment to the latest health care bill, to fine anyone who does not buy health insurance, more than $1,000 per year.

This article from the Associated Press, briefly covers how the new health care bill will require health insurance purchases from US citizens in the same way that car insurance is required to operate a vehicle. Only, in the case of health care, we’re not talking about insurance over a privilege – a system one can easily opt out of all together, as no one is required to drive – but insurance over your own body! The only way to opt out of this system is to die.

For all of my disgust over the fall of the Republican party to the depraved, war-mongering, fascist scum they have become over the last couple decades, my disgust of the Democrats continues to grow on their longstanding and unwavering support of Constitutionally antithetical principals. Now that the Bush administration has proved to the world that the American people are willing to be sheep en masse, clamoring for the government to control every aspect of their lives in exchange for perceived protection, in lieu of actual courage under fire; the Democrats can finally push their lifelong agenda and burn the Constitution without even casual public impunity. They can do so, spending up through our great-great-grandchildren’s earnings, without the slightest whimper.

In the end, the beer slurping, television hypnotized American Idle, will give praise to how fine it is to finally have "universal health care", "just like the rest of the world" – never thinking of the real cost to their wallet or more importantly, their liberty.
